More energy and strength in 28 days: Eva

Eva took part in the 28-day Kickstart. She got more energy, and more strength in class.

“My energy has improved. I got a lot more energy and a lot more strength too.”

Eva tells her story (109 seconds, in Dutch)

Reporting every day

During the Kickstart, Eva reported every day how many steps she had taken and how much she had eaten. That was exactly what helped her.

“What I found most helpful was that every day we had to report how many steps you had taken, how much you had eaten and your protein.”

“It really helped me to know how much protein I had to eat in a day, because that was really a lot more than I was eating.”

The same went for fruit and vegetables. She had to eat a lot more of those too.

Clear, sometimes confronting

Eva is clear about the coaching. In the video she says it straight to her coach.

“Your coaching was just very clear. You explained a lot, but you were also confronting now and then.”

She gives an example. If you don’t bring enough fruit and vegetables with you, you can’t eat them either. So: just do it.

Stronger in class

Eva noticed the result in the classes.

“During the classes I noticed I was getting a lot more strength than I had before. I really hadn’t expected that.”

She had not expected that much extra energy either. Her verdict: really very positive.

What she takes away

What does Eva take away from those 28 days? Making sure she eats enough protein, enough fruit and vegetables, and takes enough steps in a day.

“And enough sleep too, of course. All those things together really helped me a lot.”

Her advice to members who are thinking about joining is short.

Absolutely do it.
